Just when I think I got enuff
|
there u go & here I go getting more stuff
|
no time like the present time to put it in this bag of mine
|
ring it up & help a girl out
|
ain't that what credits all about
|
|
just when I think I don't need no more
|
I take it home and stash it in my bottom drawer
|
With my worries and regrets, my frets, my old cigarettes
|
fillin up the bags of empty promises you left
|
|
there'll be no room for my broken heart
|
the pieces you tore apart
|
everyone knows what money cant buy
|
but it sure can dry these eyes
|
|
How much for happiness
|
I'll chase the bliss
|
I'll be the best consumerist
|
I'll break the bank
|
Till I get fixed
|
Fill my holes
|
My empty soul with STUFF!
|
|
Workin up a sweat with everything I gotta get
|
The thrill is so immediate buy one get one for less
|
Take the bait accumulate
|
Don't hesitate the trends wont wait
|
Preyin on the lonely
|
consumption like its holy
|
then there's validation, symbolism
|
television, hypnotism
|
late night infomercialism
|
hook line sink commercialism
|
|
I been low before but if I have mo' maybe I wont be so low
|
Oh oh
|
|
there'll be no room for my broken heart
|
the pieces you tore apart
|
& everyone knows what money cant buy
|
but it sure can dry these eyes
|
|
More & more
|
than I had bargained for
|
wish I could buy you at the store
|
forgot to get a brand new heart
|
get back in line to fill my cart wit STUFF!
|
|
I'm walkin out the door
|
To go and get my fill
|
instead of cryin 'bout ya out my windowsill
|
And yes I know I don't need
|
one more pair of shoes
|
But their frickin cute and thanks to you
|
I still got the blues
|
